Pet Shop Owner Creates Beer for Dogs

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - After a long day hunting, there's nothing like wrapping your paw around a cold bottle of beer. So Terrie Berenden, a pet shop owner in the southern Dutch town of Zelhem, created a beer for her Weimaraners made from beef extract and malt.

"Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," she said.

Berenden consigned a local brewery to make and bottle the nonalcoholic beer, branded as Kwispelbier. It was introduced to the market last week and advertised it as "a beer for your best friend."

"Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.

The beer is fit for human consumption, Berenden said. But at euro1.65 ($2.14) a bottle, it's about four times more expensive than a Heineken.

Now this is wrong, I know that when my kitten smells beer he goes nuts lol. But this case is different, what is next? Wine for cats? I am glad that it is non-alcoholic but still in my opinion it is wrong. Do they know if it is healthy for the dog? what side affects if any could this have, even if it is non-alcoholic there is still the trace of alcohal in it, just look at the non-alcoholic beers that they sell in stores. it still hase a 0.5% of alcohal in it. I think this is wrong and should be stopped.

I have a feeling that market forces will stop it before long...
